history

Until the church is planted

The area around Mühlhausen was already inhabited by people in the Stone Age, as individual finds show. For example, a ring wall with hilltop settlements from the Bronze Age , the Urnfield and Hallstatt Period was located on the Schlüpfelberg.

Settlement was abandoned in Roman times because the Limes was only half a day's march south and times became too restless. There are also no findings from the time of the Great Migration ; they only reappear sporadically with the Carolingian period in the 6th and 7th centuries.

The place name Mühlhausen occurs several dozen times in Central Europe. The first written mention goes back to the year 900 AD. In a document dated July 26, 900 AD, Bishop Tuto from Regensburg exchanged properties at “Mulihusun” for those at Thalmässing.

With the extinction of the von Wolfstein , the evangelical imperial rule Sulzbürg-Pyrbaum (and with it the area of ​​today's municipality Mühlhausen) fell in 1740/68 with all rights to spa Bavaria . Although the electoral administration tried to promote the re-Catholicization of the "Landl", the population held on to the Evangelical Lutheran creed despite some reprisals. The rule Sulzbürg-Pyrbaum established itself as the first Protestant area of ​​spa Bavaria.

In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria , today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 .
